According to IUPAC nomenclature, what is the three-letter temporary symbol for the element with atomic number 120120?

Options

  1. AUnb
  2. BUbn
  3. CUun
  4. DUbb

Correct answer

B. Ubn

Step-by-step solution

The atomic number of the element is 120120.

According to IUPAC systematic nomenclature, the roots for the digits are:
1→1 \rightarrow un
2→2 \rightarrow bi
0→0 \rightarrow nil

Combining these roots, the temporary IUPAC name for the element is unbinilium.

The three-letter temporary symbol is derived from the first letters of these roots, which gives Ubn.
